OF LIFE Wm. Dettker Suicides at Vil- lage of Tenstrike Last Night. DESPONDENT AS RESULT OF PROTRACTED SPREE. Lifeless Body Found Suspended From Porch of Stechman Hotel. Despondent as the result of a protracted spree, during the course of which he has spent a considerable sum of money, Wm. Dettlker, a woodsman, suicided by hanging shortly after mid- night last night at the village of Tenstrike. Dettker had been working in the woods near Tenstrike during the greater part of the winter and had been employed at the Vanrick lumber camps. He was of German ex stion, a single man, and but little is known of his relatives or family except that he has some relatives living in North Dakota. He came to Tenstrike some weeks ago, He had carned a considerable sum of money in the ' woods, and about a month ago re- ceived a check for $I150 from a bank in Reidichgan, Germany. He went on a spree, which he continued until his death. Yes- terday afternoon he had been drinking heayily and spent a considerable sum of money. He was last seen alive shorlty before midnight in the barroom of the Hotel Stechman. He was quite sober at the time but seemed’ unusnally moody and morose. He went out of the rear door of the saloon and about an hour afterwards his lifeless body was found suspended from the back porch of the hotel. He had secured a short piece of rope, fastened it securely to the rail- ing and around his neck and had evidently jumped from the| porch. The body was cut down at once but life had evidently been Dressmaking Paurlors MISS ANNA BLAIN has opened up Dre s Fren naking Parlors at , nexb to Hotel Challeng Miss Blain will go out to sew by the day, or sewing will be taken in.
